These individuals have the characteristic dorsal longitudinal stripes, 

 if not throughout, at least in an anterior region, posterior to the prosto- 

 mial caruncle. The largest measure 77 mm long and 24 mm wide (536- 

 36, Gulf of California) . They agree vi^ith the description given by Monro 

 (1933, p. 9).

Collections.— 2n-ZA, 244-34, 431-35, 855-38, ?876-38. 6 specimens. 



Number of segments 28 to 30 ; length 30 to 40 mm, width 6.5 to 7.5 

 mm without, 12 to 14 mm with, setae. Bipinnate branchiae are present 

 from segment 4 to the end, but on at least the last 5 segments they become 

 rapidly and progressively smaller. The dorsum has a single broad, diffuse 

 reddish-brown, continuous stripe throughout its length. The branchial 

 rachis has a similar pigment, densest at the base ; the filaments are pale. 

 Dorsal cirri are deep purple, ventral cirri pale. 



The caruncle has about 25 folds on either side. It extends posteriorly 

 to beyond the middle of the fourth setigerous segment. Eyes 4, the anterior 

 pair much the larger, situated at the anterolateral base of the stout me- 

 dian antennal base. Posterior eyes much smaller, at the sides of the pro- 

 stomial lobe (pi. 32, fig. 14). A dusky spot is present just anterior to the
